It's so funny how vultures and hyenas are coming all out to concoct all kinds of lies and propaganda just for the aim of grabbing power. Does Sule Lamido expect President Tinubu to announce his name among the heros of Democracy and confer on him an award following his ignoble role during June 12 annulment?. That would amount to pissing on the graves of the heros of Democracy. Does Lamido think history can be revised or rewritten?, unfortunately, he will have to live and die with the memories of his actions dinning with the devil.

It is funny how opposition are saying all sorts thinking that's the only way to curry public sympathy for votes. It's funny hearing Obi say Nigeria economy is crumbling yet Fidelity Bank which he owns 10% equity is declaring humongous amount of billions, Obi as we speak is one of the largest single importer of consumer goods in Nigeria yet he claims the economy is crumbling. In another instances, he claimed democracy is dead yet he criticizes everything and goes scot free, the kind of statements he can never utter in Niger Republic or Burkina Faso and get away with it.

Ameachi says he is hungry after 24 years in the corridor of power but he is presently collecting retirement benefits as an ex speaker and former Governor, even being a former minister, he still enjoys certain privileges than an average Nigerian.

However, one surest thing is the FACT that all the gang ups, coalition and frivolities cannot stop Asiwaju as the annoited man. He has been there before, seen it, done it. All these are nothing but child's play. There's a popular saying that Tinubu no be GEJ, let that sink in.

Dele Alake cleverly tried to make it look that the emergence of MKO Abiola as the SDP candidate was the handwork of Tinubu. (Always trying to make him look like one kingmaker)

Also, he said the SDP was formed by two groups. Some people believe the SDP and NRC were two political parties created by the IBB regime.

It will be very difficult for people to believe these guys because they have been known to be economical with the truth.

All they do is sing praises of Tinubu as one demigod or messiah of some sort.
Is it the fact that some people are rightly singing praises of Tinubu as if he’s a demigod that irks you or are you just averse to hearing the Truth? Maybe you need a Prayer to clear your soul….May Your Good Works Never Come to Light to be Recognised….say Amen! cool cool

You are a joke. Most politicians that betrayed themselves politics bring them together. In politics they are no enemies. Even if he betrayed their father then that will not make them to hate him for ever. Those days are past and now they have to forge a future for themselves and children unborn and if that future they can get it from Tinubu today tell me why should they fight the president.

No truth to kiss in your words.
Why didn't they collect appointment from OBJ?, talk another lie, Lol

Don’t deviate from the discourse. Peter Obi has absolutely nothing to do with this.

I’ll ask again, is Kola Abiola among those you described as “disgruntled elements”? A simple yes or no will do.

Of course, he's disgruntled because nothing factual backs it up. No history backs it up, just a mere content creation like Lamido's claims.

in what way does "taking the nation down memory lane about military annulment of an election" now equate to "no other president has given a more relevant speech befitting June 12 than Tinubu's speech"?

Why has Tinubu been hellbent on making June 12 about himself and cronies instead of about MKO Abiola? Buhari has done more to immortalise Abiola than Tinubu himself. On the first June 12 of Tinubu's tenure, he seized the opportunity to unveil the largest portrait on earth at Eagle Square. It was a portrait of himself! He has since continued in that trajectory of self-immortalization by renaming every new and existing National Monument after himself.

In the second year, he cancelled Presidential live broadcast in favor of addressing a joint session of the national assembly. Instead of speaking about democracy, he used the opportunity to gloat about party politics and how happy he was to see all opposition in disarray. The megalomania is disgusting and it doesn't portray the behaviour of someone who truly fought for democracy as peddled.
U just dislike the man without any reasonable thing to buttress your points.

This is how you counter falsehoods and revisionists propaganda - with historical facts (names, places & events) that are already in public domain.

If Baba Bayo Onanuga were to be the one saddled with responding to Alh. Sule Lamido, he would've started with insults and ended with even more insults and propaganda about how PBAT has been the best thing to happen to our democracy since 1960.

-Kiss the truth!
Knowledgeable folks know Sule Lamido is just capping as the born-to-rule Northern supremacist he is.

He is just desperate to use everything, even lies, to get the North, specifically a Fulani, back in charge of Nigeria in 2027.

He is not fooling anyone but Obidients who, I suspect are the target of Northern propaganda lamba currently.

They want Igbos, they know are emotional and easily 'herded', to be behind them in their imperialist agenda to depose an independent-minded and resolute Southern President never afraid to use power for the beneift of ordinary Nigerians as others before him avoided doing. It is as simple as that.

Next, we will hear Tinubu is the originator of Boko Haram. Banana-like idiocy that can only be packaged for those who believed Buhari was dead ,and replaced by a Jubrin from Sudan, merely because Kanu said so.
Re: How Lamido Traded Off Abiola’s Mandate, By Dele Alake by Bestwt001(f): 11:05am On Jun 23, 2025
Tinubu’s unwavering support for MKO Abiola during the dark days of military rule speaks volumes about his democratic convictions. He risked everything even his life for the cause. History shouldn’t forget those who stood when it was hardest.

If it was true, MKO's children would not have accepted working in Tinubu's Government. When they obviously distanced themselves from OBJ. Tells you they know the primary roles Asiwaju played in fighting for the mandate of their late father.

Did Obasanjo give a hoot about Abiola and his family?!
Stop revising history.
Tinubu is simply atoning for his sins against the Abiola Family.
You can't know better than him.

I hope that is realistic enougj for you.

I'm very sure that some Yoruba politicians will definitely support the annulment of June 12 election. That's 100% sure.

(4) Youths who support the killers that ordered the killing of their own fellow youths.

(5) A homeless person supporting the people who brought inflation that has made him jobless and homeless.

(6) People living without electricity and still raising banner and asking people to support the evil men that are behind lack and failure of electricity in the country.

(7) People that cannot travel to their home because of bad roads but are still campaigning and and asking other people to join them to support people that looted the money meant for the construction of roads to their homes.

(cool People that couldn't sleep because of killing, kidnaping and banditry, yet supporting the founders of terrorism in the nation.

(9) People that do not even have clean water to drink, but still planning to vote into power people who looted the money meant for water.

(10) People buying fuel at N950 instead of N80, yet still supporting the evil men stealing our crude and refusing to build refineries that has brought us to where we are today.

(11) People supporting others because of religion, ethnicity, or tribe and forget competence, capacity and track record.

(12) People supporting others because of food on the table and stomach infrastructure forgetting the future.

Dele Alake put up a super brilliant historical account of events that happened in the pre, during and post events of June 12 struggle.

His delivery was 95% and reminded us of his days as the DG Media & Communication campaign team of the BAT team during the last Presidential Campaign.


I personally think Dele Alake should be re-assigned to the ministry of information or else he will live to regret because PBAT will never get a second term with these set of opportunistic media aides that surround PBAT presently.

There is a big difference between Bayo Onanuga's written response and Dele Alake's interview which had more depth, demagogy and was eloquently delivered.

Indeed PBAT was the Head, Guerilla wing of NADECO most military men of the Officer cadre who served during the Abacha Regime knew Tinubu as a very stubborn and intelligent conman.
Indeed, the veteran pro-democracy movement activist (during the highly corrupt military dictatorship years of the mid-1980s right into the late-1990s) and investigative journalist 'Dele Alake, was expected to handle the Ministry of Information with his lucid eloquence but he was put in charge of the Ministry of Solid Minerals which isn't bad because it requires someone who is an administrator.

But Alake would have been highly impressive in the Ministry of Information.

I totally agree with your assertions ABOVE as someone who last voted on Nigerian soil on June 12, 1993 and ALSO CLEARLY witnessed the sequence of political events before, during, and after June 12, 1993. The then Senator 'Bola Tinubu and his mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji NEVER worked against MKO Abiola as being irresponsibly bandied around and if you look at all the 3 thread posts so far on this Sule Lamido's historical revisionism, it's majorly the young elements from the tribe directly located on the East of river Niger (who were NOT even born as of June 12, 1993) that are running around, pushing the deliberate disinformation that the now President 'Bola Tinubu betrayed MKO which is the kind of narrative, they and their paid ipob troll farms like to irresponsibly push around to damage Tinubu's image and that will NOT be tolerated here on this discussion forum.

What is to be expected of Ipob ? You believed Tinubu did not campaign for MKO ba n his mother mobilized market women for YEAA Yoouth Earnestly Ask For Abacha.

I hope you were old enough to know it was led by your kinsmen Kanu. ? Yet you have the audacity to comment on this post. This is aside another Ojukwu demanding MKO should be killed for winning the election.

Talk of backbiting. Just imagune the bareface hypocrisy. Shame wear you for neck like bangle.
